I'm training for Brighton Marathon and focusing on trying to do things right with S&C more than ever before. Did Hampton Court Half yesterday. Focussed on hitting 180bmp cadence throughout, which actually worked. Got it done in my 'ideal' time and was consistent with my pace throughout. But blimey it destroyed my thighs, wouldn't have been able to keep going much longer and was at threshold HR most of the race....
As yet I haven't really been able to hit a 180bpm at a slower pace consistently, I always drift off and slow to around 170.
